Holiness\/love as a spring of saving action. If anything, the holiness theme is here dominant. The woman acts primarily \u201cfor her own name\u2019s sake.\u201d 9. The worth of women. The reader of Luke\u2019s gospel has just read where Jesus likens himself to a mother hen (13:34). Here he is a good woman. Prior to Jesus, Ben Sirach wrote, \u201cthe birth of a daughter is a loss\u201d (Sir. 22:3b). Relatively soon after the time of Jesus, the rabbis were praying each day thanking God that they had not been created women (Hauptman, 196).<\/p>\n

In the first parable Jesus boldly says, \u201cYou should be like this \u2019unclean\u2019 shepherd.\u201d In his parable he affirms, \u201cI am like this woman! I search for the lost. What about you?\u201d In the process Jesus elevates the worth of all women by his choice of imagery. 10. The hope of success in finding the lost. This theme is clearly intensified as noted. The outcome of the shepherd\u2019s search, in spite of his determination, is uncertain.<\/p>\n

The woman\u2019s diligence is assured success. Again, a bold picture alive with bright colors reflecting great theological themes was created by Jesus with the briefest of strokes. The chapter then moves on to the climax of the trilogy. OceanofPDF.com Notes 1. The NRSV (as above) reads \u201ca city built on a hill.\u201d The verb keimai literally means \u201clie, recline, or place.\u201d The intent in this text is certainly \u201cbuilt\u201d as appears in the NRSV.<\/p>\n

This appropriate meaning was also chosen by the translators of the famous Vatican Arabic 13 (eighth century A.D.). 2. Anna does not speak. So why is she mentioned? Luke apparently had her name, but no recorded speech in his sources. Yet he recalls her presence in the account.<\/p>\n
